| Fire at PCA
A major fire broke out at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium here this afternoon completely gutting its top floor and damaging property worth crores. There was, however, no loss of life. The fire broke out at around 1 oclock and was apparently caused by a stray spark flying off the welding equipment in use during an ongoing renovation work on the floor. It spread across 11,000 sq ft within minutes fanned by the wind and the highly inflammable material lying on the floor and lining the walls and false ceiling.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Angel Lola Luv’s Implants EXPOSED! Jim Jones Vs. Max ...
Its sort of expected, and a primary reason why the music business has collapsed. The sports world relies on a mix of business people, coaches, ex players and players to further an organized growing path in what it does. Its why it does well and we remain fans. I'm embarrassed at how musicians and artists in other genres of music make us appear to be greed infested, structure-less idiots when it comes down to the organization of black music and culture."
To punctuate his point, Chuck D told AllHipHop.com, “It is quite clear that these folk could care less. The same thing that happened to Motown, is Def Jam's fate. In my opinion the fact that 10-15 individuals in the guise of hovering buzzards are given keys to the culture based on their alliances with these corporations, is a partial reasons for the troubled condition its in.

It's also a good idea to do check out the candidates' websites. They all lay out their views on the issues, so you can make an informed decision! Thursday's Huckabee event was a rally at the Stoney Creek Inn in Rothschild. It was in a reasonably-sized ballroom, and about 300 people packed in, with the media (local people like us, and national crews that travel with Huckabee) on risers at the back of the room. We did a live shot for NewsChannel 7 at 5:00, and Mr. Huckabee started his speech almost right after that. He spoke until about 5:30 (it was a version of his stump speech), then a guy with his campaign told us the former governor was going to have “Media Availability" in another room. That's basically a little press conference when we can ask him just about whatever we want! Huckabee was very personable.
Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang ...
The goal was to make it look more aggressive without being hokey or garish," Belker says. "Maintaining as much of the original beauty of the Shelby as possible was important—and not just because of the Ford connection. It had to be simple yet believable as a superhero." Once his vision was set, Belker turned to Ted Moser from Picture Car Warehouse to make his drawings come to life. But there was one big hurdle: The GT500KR doesn't technically exist quite yet. "So we had to finish their design first," Moser says. "Then we brought in a prop maker to create side skirts and spoilers out of wood, smooth them out, and sent them to a fiberglass shop to make molds. Once the parts are formed from those molds, we finish them and attach them to the car." One of the cooler features of the Mustang KITT is air-ride suspension, which allows its driver to lower the car's ride height when the vehicle morphs from Hero to Attack mode.
Cuban legislature to name Fidel Castro successor
The younger Castro has provisionally held power since his brother fell ill in July 2006 and the stage is set for him to be formally confirmed as head of state. Raul Castro, at 76 the world's longest serving defence minister, is the obvious pick for a government that feels threatened by the Bush administration at the vulnerable moment of losing the charismatic leadership of its founder Fidel Castro, debilitated by illness, after 49 years at the helm. "National defence and internal stability are the watchwords right now," a member of the ruling Communist Party said, requesting anonymity. "More than anything, Raul signifies stability and continuity at a time of great anxiety and uncertainty," said Frank Mora, an expert on Cuba at the National War College in Washington.
